Description

This data set provides images of boreal forests in central Canada collected over numerous tower and auxiliary sites during the BOREAS Intensive Field Campaigns (IFCs) in the Northern (NSA) and Southern Study Areas (SSA). The images were acquired by helicopter with VHS video cameras during the green-up, peak, and senescent stages of the growing season from May-September of 1994. These snapshots were generated from VHS imagery and converted to .jpg format.
